In South Delhi’s Mehrauli area, a cab driver named Manoj Kumar tragically lost his life when three men on a motorcycle engaged in a confrontation with him over an overtaking dispute. The assailants stabbed him to death during the altercation. The police have apprehended a minor in connection with the incident, but the other two suspects involved in the stabbing are still evading capture. Manoj Kumar, a resident of Sangam Vihar, was employed as a cab driver for a Gurugram-based company.

Yesterday evening, he picked up five employees from Malviya Nagar and was heading to Mehrauli to pick up another employee when his cab got stuck in a traffic jam. Around 8.40 pm, the three accused arrived on a bike and asked Manoj to give way, but due to lack of space, he couldn’t. This led to a fight between them and one of them stabbed Manoj in the chest with a knife.
